Georgetown University’s Master of Professional Studies in Real Estate prepares candidates with the foundational skills and industry insights needed for success in today’s real estate industry.
Thanks to Round One, I was able to secure admission to my target schools.
I chose Round One as my study-abroad counselor for two main reasons: (1) every senior colleague from my company who had studied abroad on a company-sponsored basis and worked with Round One was highly satisfied with their services, and (2) unlike MBA or LL.M. applications, there are very few counselors who have experience providing application counseling for the real estate master’s programs to which I was applying.
Through Round One’s Strategic Guidance, they proposed an application portfolio that took into account my personal preferences, test scores, and overall profile. In addition, they responded promptly not only to general questions but also to detailed checks of draft emails to admissions offices, which was an enormous help throughout the application period.
Essay Counseling was provided on a time-charge basis rather than a flat fee, tailored to each client’s needs. The approach of setting a fixed weekly session and steadily completing recommendation letters and essays according to schedule suited me very well. My essays were revised into highly polished pieces in terms of both structure and expression, while fully reflecting the characteristics of each target school. Despite my relatively low scores, I was able to pass the document screening stage at most universities, which I believe was due to the high quality of Round One’s counseling. That said, it goes without saying that the core ideas for the essays must come from the applicant; Round One refines and elevates those ideas rather than doing everything on one’s behalf.
The Interview Training was also well structured, consisting of mock interviews with detailed feedback, as well as preparation of questions tailored to each university’s specific characteristics. Even though I am not particularly strong in conversational settings, I was able to get through my interviews smoothly thanks to the level of preparation and mindset this training provided.
In the end, I received multiple offers of admission, including from my target school, and I am extremely satisfied with the quality of Round One’s services. Beyond the tangible results, the warm and supportive personalities of Mr. and Ms. Round made the otherwise mentally demanding application period far more enjoyable and reassuring. I am deeply grateful for the tremendous support they provided in helping me achieve my study-abroad goals.
